The Osean Confederation State of Minuda is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Minudian High Council with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.746 billion Minudians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cohorse. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Minudian economy, worth 846 trillion OSEAN Standard Units a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 226,061 OSEAN Standard Units, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 652,814 per year while the poor average 62,107, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

People who have never eaten chicken are told it tastes a bit like crocodile, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, Minudian High Council spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, and the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minuda's national animal is the Írca, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Null.
